I aZ whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, MARY S'Prrnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair Wavers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a hair Waver, and has for its object the production of a simple and eiicient'hair waver, which may be easily operated.

Another object of the invention, is the production of a hair waver, which will wave the hair in a very short time.

lVith these and other objects in view, this invention consists of certain novel constructions, combinations, and arrangements of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

ln the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the hair Waver assembled, the heating rod being shown in place.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the device, with the heating rod removed.

Figure 3 is a side elevation of the heating rot.

Figure 4 is a section taken on line 4--4 of Figure 1.

By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that 1 designates a socket, which is provided with oppositely projecting folded portions 2, forming pockets 3. 'Ii-,bese pockets 3 receive'the outturned ends 4 of the bow 5. A sliding sleeve 6, in the form of a tube, is mounted in the socket 1, and is provided with outwardly flared ends 7 ,-.to prevent the sleeve 6 from being accidentally detached from the socket 1.

An elongated hair receiving tube 8, is Ycarried by the bow 5, the bow 5 passing through an aperture 9, formed in the outer end of' the tube 8. rlhe folded portions 2 of the socket 1 are provided with notches 10, through which the extremities 11 of the ends 4 extend, to facilitate the removal of the ends of the bow 5 from the socket 1. The ends of the bow 5 are bent inwardly to frictionally engage the sleeve 6 and hold the sleeve in an adjusted position. Thehairreceiving tube 8, may be swung to the position shown in dotted lines in Figure 2, and the hair may be twisted or wound upon the same, after which, the tube 8 may be swung to the vseen that the hair ma position shown in full lines in Figure 1. The sleeve 6 is then moved to the position shown in Figure 1, so that the inner end of the sleeve 6 will lit over the tube 8, and hold the tube in a set position.

A heating rod 12 is used in connection with the device and is inserted inthe tube 8, after the rod has been heated red hot, for the purpose of heating and curling or waving the hair twisted upon the tube 8. A handle 13 is carried by the rod 12 to facilitate the handling of the rod 12.

From the foregoing description, it will be be conveniently wound upon the tube 8, and that the rod 12 may be inserted in the tube 8, in this way heating the hair and waving the same, without the rod 8 coming in direct contact with the hair. By use of the device described, the hair may be conveniently waved in a very short time, and without injury to the hair, such as burning.

It should be understood that certain detail changes in the mechanical construction of the device may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, as long as these changes fall within thecscope of the appended claims.

The inner ends of the bow 5 are adapted to frictionally engage the sleeve 7 and hold the sleeve 7 in a set position, after the same has been moved to a desired position.

Having fully described the invention,

what is claimed as new is:

1. A hair waver of the class described comprising a hair supporting tube, a socket associated therewith, a sleeve extending through said socket and fitting over one end of said tube, and a heating rod fitting 'in said tube. 1

2. A hair waver of the class described comprising a hair supporting tube, a supporting bow constituting a pivot for one end of said tube for permitting said tube to be swungin between said bow and beyond the same, a socket associated with said tube, a sleeve slidably mounted ,through Said socket and fitting over one end of said tube for holding said tube in a set position, and a heating rod extending through said tube and sleeve.

3. A hair waverv of the class described tending folded portions, w, a vtube ivoted upon the outer end of said bow, the rod extending-through .said sleeve and into inner ends of said bow fitting in the folded Said tube. 10 portions of said socket/and frictionally en- In testimony whereof I' affix my signagaging the sides of the folded'portions, a ture in presence of 'two witnesses.
